COFFEE-POT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters'Patent No. 399,431, dated March12, 1889.

Application filed December 30, 1887. Serial No. 259,400. (No model.)

To (1.7] 11-71mm it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDWARD 'J. NEwLiN, of Brooklyn, in the county ofKings and State of New York, have invented a new and ImprovedCoffee-Pot, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

The object of this invention is to improve the construction ofcoffee-pots of the class in which an infusion is obtained by passingwater through the ground coffee, which is held in a fabric strainer nearthe top of the coffeepot.

The invention consists in a compressible I ring held in the margin ofthe strainer, in a removable support for the strainer, and in details ofconstruction and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter morespecifically set forth and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the aceom mnying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicateeorrespomling parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a central sectional elevation of a coffee-pot having myinvention applied. Fig. 2 is a plan view with the strainer removed, andFig. 3 is a partly sectional plan view of the compressible ring.

\Vithin a hem or sh irr, (1, formed in the upper margii'lal edge of thefabric strainer A, is

held loosely a compressible ring, 13, formed in the present instancefrom a piece of spring- 3 metal tubing of small diameter, bent into ringform, and having secured in one end, preferably by soldering, a shortpiece of wire, 1/, which projects tlnn'efrom and is adapted to enter theother end of the bent tube,wliereby, by nessure appliml to the peripheryof the ring, the same can be l'OtlLlCOtl in diameter, so as to be passedinto the contracted top of an ordinary cone-shaped coffee-pot andremoved therefrom with case when IOflflll'Otl.

A tripod-shaped s n'ing-wire frame, C, having the ends of its arms abentinward to form the projections d, is inserted in the coffeepot, withits shank e resting on the eoffee-pot bottom, so that: when the straineris placed in the coffee-pot the ring 13 will rest on the projections (I,and the strainer will be securely upheld. i A socket, D, is securedcentrally on the bottom of the coifee-pot, in which socket the end ofthe shank e of the tripod C can be inserted to hold the same firmly inplace; but this socket is not essential, as the tripod, ring, andstrainer will be suttieiently well sustained by the spring-tension ofthe arms a and ring B i when the same are applied to a coffee-pot not.

provided with the socket D.

The ring B maybe otherwise made compressible without departing from thespirit of my invention; but the form shown is at present preferred aspresenting no ends to puncture the fabric of the strainer, and astrainer provided with a compressible ring may be otherwise held inposition in the pot.

llavin g tints fully described my invention, I claim as new and desireto secure by Letters Patent- 1. In a pot, the combiinition,with aspring-1 tripod and a strainer, of an elastic split ring having a segmental pieee of smaller diameter rigidly secured in one of its ends, and atubular opening in its opposite end, in which said 1 piece is placed andis adapted to work, substantiall y as described.

2. In a coffee-pot, a strainer-support eonsisting in a tripod formed ofa series of elastie arms cmiverging and united at theirlower ends, freeat their upper ends, and bowed outwardly between their ends,substantially as set forth.

5. The combination, with a coffee-pot pro vided with a socket on itsbottom, of a springtripod adapted to fit into said socket, and astrainer sustained on said tripod, substani tially as set forth.

EDWARD 'J. NEWLIN.
